When I was first learning about programming, I had hours and hours of enjoyment just from modifying that game even though I didn't quite know what I was doing. Just things like changing the banana speed or making bananas spawn other bananas when they hit. Another fun one was called Labyrinth (I think it was spelled LABRNTH.BAS or something). I liked it so much that years later I started making two remakes (one in HTML canvas/JS, one in DCPU-16). QBasic was a great introductory language for a kid wanting to learn programming IMO.
